C-UNIT 1-Introduction To Computers

The document discusses the objectives and contents of a course on Programming for Problem-Solving Using C. The course aims to teach students how to write algorithms, convert them to C programs, and debug programs. It also covers C programming concepts like operators, selection statements, arrays, pointers, file I/O and functions. The document provides an introduction to computer hardware components like input, output and storage devices, and how software allows these to perform tasks. It outlines the topics to be covered in Unit 1, such as the C language background, programs, variables and constants.

Introduction to Computers
• A computer system is made up of two major components.

Computer System

Hardware Software

• The computer hardware is physical equipment.


• The software is the collection of programs (instructions) that allows the hardware to
perform a given task or job.
Introduction to Computers
Hardware:
• The hardware component of the
computer system consists of five
parts.
1) Input Devices
2) Central Processing Unit
3) Primary Storage
4) Output Devices
5) Auxiliary Storage Devices
Introduction to Computers
Hardware:
1) Input Devices
• Input device is usually a keyboard which is used to write the programs.
• Examples of input devices are keyboard, mouse, touchpad, stylus pen, mike etc.
2) Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• CPU executes the instructions given by input devices such as arithmetic calculations,
logical calculations etc.
• CPU consists of Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU) and Primary
Memory.
3) Primary Storage:
• Primary storage is called main memory which stores the data temporarily during
processing.
Introduction to Computers
Hardware:

• The data stored in the primary memory during processing is erased when the computer is
turned off.
4) Output Devices

1) Auxiliary Storage Devices
